WWE No Mercy: Wii bound?

EMG Magazine

produced a rumour of some interest to us this issue.  THQ (of Juiced and Company of Heroes fame) may be planning on bringing WWF No Mercy (an N64 classic) back to the Wii using Wii ware, with updated rosters to allow players to be all of their current WWE Superstars.

Our resident wrestling games expert Ken explains, "It has the same basic appeal as Firepro Wrestling, in that it's not exactly the best looking game but it's a lot of fun and people really enjoy it, especially real wrestling fans who play the wrestling games. As a wrestler and games fan, it's how the game feels that makes it more fun than the speed of the moves or the flashy graphics."

The No Mercy game engine was very popular and user friendly, especially the create-a-wrestler option. We think that being able to purchase an updated No Mercy game through the shop channel with the current roster would open the door for so much else to come flooding through, and the Wii to get better use out of the shop channel.

 

Plus, wrestling fans could once again use their favourite wrestling games engine but this time feature stars such as John Cena, Batista and MVP.
